    Nurx

    I loved Nurx until very recently

    • Length of Use: 2+ years
    Overall Experience:

    I have been using Nurx for three years and never had any issues with them. I was taking Nikki specifically to control my PMDD. Without medication, my PMDD is so severe that I have psychosis, depression, and I am unable to work. After starting Nikki, my life completely changed. I lost 7 pounds within a week of starting it and my moods stabilized. My relationship with my family drastically improved also.

    Nurx suddenly started sending me Loryna instead of Nikki. Yes, they have the same ingredients, but they have different inactive ingredients and different manufacturing processes. I got so sick, like extremely sick! I was throwing up, I gained 10 pounds, my PMDD came back, and I was super depressed. I told Nurx what was going on and that I can't handle Loryna and that my PMDD symptoms were coming back. They told me Loryna is the same as Nikki. I asked them to just send me Nikki and they said okay. I bought another 3 months' worth of pills and they sent me Loryna again! I didn't know what else to do and hoped all the symptoms would just go away on their own but it got worse and worse every month. My PMDD is completely back now and it already has started affecting my life.

    I don't think people understand how PMDD affects women's lives who have it. It is like a never-ending nightmare. I knew this would happen because they wouldn't listen to me. I informed them of how sick I am and how my PMDD symptoms are back. I spent $80 on Loryna but I couldn't return it to them, which I understand. I ended up contacting Simple Health and they ensured me they will only send me Nikki and nothing else. I sincerely hope they are telling me the truth. I have VA benefits and they won't cover my birth control so I need these online services for my PMDD management. I don't understand why it got to this point. I was willing to pay more for Nikki. I feel less sick after stopping Loryna, but my PMDD is really bad right now.

    I would recommend people to reach out to Simple Health instead of The Pill Club or Nurx. (The Pill Club wouldn't promise me that they would only send me Nikki either.) Nurx made me trust their judgment and I just kept getting sicker, even after I kept informing them of what was happening to me. It sucks because I never had an issue with them for three years until recently. Just be careful and if you feel sick from a certain medication, talk to a doctor and try to fix the issue.

    Pros and Cons:

    • Convenience
    • Low-cost
    • Gave me wrong prescription
    • No refund
    • Don't listen to patients or take their concerns seriously

    Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
